    A Hundred Million Suns might just be Snow Patrol's biggest, most genuine effort yet.

    Singer Gary Lightbody has a moody streak and a beautifully expressive voice, which sounds exquisite on the band’s newest record, A Hundred Million Suns.

    Really, though, the whole--say, the bracing rock of 'Take Back The City'--is more than the sum of these parts, and underlines this album as a success in its field.

    A Hundred Million Suns? Ugh. More like a hundred million yawns.

    Excellent follow up to Eyes open - if you are a fan of Travis - British Sea Power and Kaiser Chiefs - you will love this. My favorite is Set Down your Glass.… Expand

    Snow Patrol really hits their stride and sound here and deliver a more focused and mature sound/lyrics. Showing off their rock/pop/and slow jam ability they have mixed in bits of their old sound and new for great results. With songs about love and heart ache accompany with personal lyrics and catchy music it's hard not to get into this album. Whether your a fan of them before or new your bound to find more than a few tracks or the whole album to your liking.… Expand
